CIGARETTE HOLDER.

7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY BUENNEMANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Im rovements in Cigarette Holders, of whic the following is a specification.

This "invention relates to holding devices,

\1 10 and more particularly to what I term a cigarette holder. I

One of the main objects of the invention is to provide a device of simple construction and operation which may be worn on the finger and which serves to hold a cigarette or similar article. A further object is to provide a device of the character stated of neat appearance and which can be readily produced at small cost. will appear from the detailed description.-

-In the drawings Figure 1. is a central vertical section through the device;

Figure 23s a front view of the device; 25 Figure 3 is a perspective view of the device as used. The device includesa split ring 1 of any suitable or preferred material, having thedesired amount of resiliency to clamp about the finger when placed thereon. A spacing member or post 2 is rovided at the central portion of ring lqan su ports on its upper face a substantially -shaped clamping Further objects member or spring 3 the ends of the arms of which are turned over to form rounded or circular elements 4 which permit a cigarette or similar article to be forced into the clamping member 3 through space 5 between the upper ends of the arms ofthe clamping member. A pin 6 is inserted through ring 1, post 2 and clamping member 3, this pin being provided at its lower end with a head 7. The. vpin is secured through post 2 and through ring 3 by soldering or in any other suitable or preferred manner and serves to secure the ring and the post and clamping member together. This pin also provides a securing element which sticks into a cigarette or similar article inserted into clamp 3 so as to effectively prevent accidental displacement of the cigarette, as indicated in Figure 3. This provides simple and efficient means for holding a cigarette or similar article in such manner as to permit free use of the hand, the cigarette being readily available when desired.

What I claim is 2-- In a device of the character described, a ring, a clamp, and a pin secured through said ring and clamp and acting to secure the same to ether, said pin projecting i nto the clamp For engagement into an article inserted'into said clamp.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

HENRY BUENNEMANN.
